We can repair the METAL PARTS of most leather saddles.
*** If the leather is torn, you need a new saddle! ***
This saddle tore during nose bolt replacement.
Many non-Brooks brand saddles are clones of Brooks and the parts fit!
We are not responsible for saddles that tear during repair.
Leather kept lubricated and moisturized with Proofide or Obeanuf's Heavy Duty LP will NOT tear!
Rail Replacement Labor is $50
Steel rail chassis cost $40 and are black or chrome. (other colors and metals might be available e.g. Ti or Copper)
Rivets are $1.50 each (6 are needed)
Nose BOLT replacement is $20 labor
Bolts cost $12
|
Nose Cones cost $8 Rivets are $1.50 each (3 are needed) |

Note: The above saddle after the repair looks dark because it was oiled to make the leather supple during rivet installation.

Return Shipping & Handling is $13 in a Priority Mail Medium Flat Rate Box
The first step is to send a picture of the top and bottom of your saddle to info@rideyourbike.com
We will email YES or NO to send it in.
If we get your saddle and determine that it is not repairable, then we will ship it back to you at your cost or just recycle the metal parts.
If your saddle is very dry, we charge $10 to treat the leather with Obenauf's Oil. This is a required step if we are replacing rivets!
DO NOT SEND YOUR SADDLE TO US WITHOUT FIRST EMAILING US!
Ship to:
Aaron's Bicycle Repair, Inc.
9988 15th Avenue SW
Seattle, Washington 98146
ENCLOSE YOUR NAME, ADDRESS, PHONE, EMAIL & REQUESTED REPAIR TO THE SADDLE
Prices do not include shipping or tax. Tax is only charged on shipping and labor for out-of-state customers.
Once we are done with your saddle, we will re-box and email you an invoice with a payment link from
Intuit Payment Network. IPN is just as secure as Paypal. We also offer Paypal, but with a 5% fee added.
Note: We do not accept credit cards for mail order service because of fraud. Paypal transactions get a 5% fee added or you may mail us a check, money order or cashier's check and once it clears, we will ship your saddle.
If you do mail us a personal check, we require you to email us a copy of your cancelled check before we ship! This can add 2 or 3 weeks time.
We owe the late, great Val Kleitz eternal gratitude for teaching the rest of us his brooks saddle repair skills.
